An example database application

(Taken from the book “Fundamentals of Database Systems” by Elmasri and Navathe)
Company database keeps track of a company’s employees, departments and projects.

1. The company is organized into departments. Each department has a unique name, a unique number and a particular
employee who manages the department. We keep track of the start date when that employee began managing the department. A
department may have several locations.

2. A department controls a number of projects, each of which has a unique name, a unique number and a single location.

3. We store each employee’s name, Social Security number, address, salary, sex and birth date. An employee is assigned to one
department but may work on several projects, which are not necessarily controlled by the same department. We keep track of
the number of hours per week that an employee works on each project. We also keep track of the direct supervisor of each
employee.

4. We want to keep track of the dependents of each employee for insurance purposes. We keep each dependent’s first name,
sex, birth date and relationship to the employee.
